PLUMB'S POINTER.

Senator Plumb's tall speech on the pres
ent administration diplomatic corps is not
relished by the Kansas City Times and
other mossback organs, especially the fol-
lowing excerpt:
THE incoming of Democratic admin
istra:ion brought from the lumber garrets
of that party great number of people
whose existence before that time was not
known. People whom the senator from
Delaware, and the leading men Of his par
ty generally, did not know anything about
came forward as applicants for offices IN
der the Democratic administration. Men
who had been for all practical purposes
dead and buried turned up with claims"
upon the Democratic administration for
appointments OF course it would not do
TO appoint them TO any place at home, be
cause there their manifest incompetency,
the odor of their decaying carcasses, of
course would be offensive TO the nos,rils of
even non sensitive people. Therefore they
were sent abroad"

UNPLEASANT, BUT TRUTH.

It is out of no disposition to find fault
when We say that the legislature which
stepped down and out for good yesterday.
relieved Kansas Of the most extravagant
and the most cranky legislative body of
her entire history. The average taxpayer
of Kansas will sweat for years because of
this winters work at Topeka. Mealy
mouthed explanations will not relieve the
state of burthens imposed. and which will
cling to the back of Our industries like the
old man of the sea. But the body now
defunct did not stop with piling up ex-
penses and enforced tributes which must
remain after great majority OF its lndl-
vidual members shall have been forgotten,
but they dipped into wild and extreme
experimental enactments and went as far
As they could into the creation of new
officers.
If the legislation Of the past two sessions,
covering the life of the present senate,
could be wiped out for, ever and eternally,
the prosperity of Kansas would be far great.
er in the near future, there would be more
happiness in Kansas homes, and the state
taxes would not be as great by more than
one half.
However good, pure and earnest the in
tentiOns and honest the individual members
comprising the legislature just adjourned,
and the one just preceding it. and we
question none of these, the fact remains.
and will stay to plague the people OF Kan
sas, that there has been more wild and
reckless, more extravagant and ill-timed
enactments in the past four years than by
all previous legislative bodies ever elected
by OF assembled in the name OF the people

the decrying of Wichita, and the boom in
Wichita, by all the papers In other towns.
Every town should have enough to do to
help along its own boom without attempt
ing to either help or pull down the boom
in any other town Let every town toot
its own horn for all it is worth. There is
never anything gained to any enterprise
under the sun, from boot-blacking bust
ness up to railroad spanning a continent,

down its neighbor or competitor.-Garden

Kansas city does not equal Wichita in any
of these things which render every Gay
life satisfactory and attractive. Kansas
City surpasses Wichita only in the stock
and packing interests, but who can say for
how long in the future? No one. The
signs Of the times and the fact that Wich
